My husband and I lived in the Brunswick-Topsham , Maine area most of our lives. We retired to this little town in Penobscot County. He died very suddenly last year. I am staying here with the nice neighbors and friends. Hope I can take care of my 100+year old farmhouse. Alice Hi Martha, I am a Maine quilt maker and it is delightful to see your photos of Maine.

I have lived here all of my life and have been on Mount Desert Island for ten years... I had the good fortune to be at the event this past week where you spoke of your ten years in Maine and saw the response from the guests. I was one of the workers there and was able to listen to your presentation. It was very nice to know I was from a place that gave people from all walks of life such a good feeling. There is something about Maine that makes you long for more. The photos are wonderful, but can't begin to relay the feeling of being here: only a slight glimpse from the smiles on your guests faces. Thank you for bringing that glimpse to so many. regards: Scott from Bar Harbor, Maine Dear Martha;

Regarding a question asked by a audience member about how to end a party. One day at a house party it was 3 am and the guest were not leaving. My brother started to play the song "Tequila" over and over. When the guest started to ask why the music, my brother said that it was the last song. People took the hint and started to leave. Now everytime my brother wants to end a party he plays "Tequila" and people know its time to leave. Greetings.

I heard all about your great 4th of July on Monday!..He visits his wife's family, and his, every weekend, and never misses 4th of July in Maine. He is from Ellsworth, Maine. He never misses an opportunity to let me know he could visit your house if he wants to, and not invite me! Office humor, I'm sure! He knows what a long time fan and supporter of you I am. But the next time he needs some office work done, I may just be too busy!. Thank for the pictures, the are wonderful. Mary Ellen Barnatt Dear Martha,

Most boaters think blue, black and burgundy. Thank you for the delightfully refreshing choice of Tuscan in your Hinckley. My favorite, though, is the gooseberry pie with buttermilk ice cream. Yum!
